What to expect on the day of Awake Liposuction surgery

The day of Awake Liposuction surgery in Atlanta, GA, is designed to provide patients with a reassuring experience. As you arrive, we welcome you into a supportive environment where your well-being is paramount.

Under the expert hands of Dr. Lissa, the surgery unfolds with constant communication, allowing patients to remain aware and engaged throughout the process. After making a small incision, usually between 0.4 and 0.8 inches in length, Dr. Lissa will insert a blunt instrument that is attached to a rubber tubing, passing it back and forth along your unwanted fat, essentially scraping it loose and vacuuming it, thanks to the machine it’s attached to that generates high vacuum pressure. Once finished, Dr. Lissa will cover up the incisions.

Depending on the area or areas that are being operated on and which technique is used, the procedure can last from 30 minutes up to four hours.

Pain can be controlled with medications prescribed by Dr. Lissa, though you may still feel stiff and sore for a few days.
